Well I am a bit unsure on how to proceed.
I have quite a few grows going on with plenty of space but have decided to throw a pile of autos in a small compact box as I am now running out of space.
I have seen people produce similar to what I am after while they are only using 2 ltr pots, I am using 9 litre pots so hoping for a bigger yield.
the SOG's I have seen have all used tiny pots and pulled over half oz of each plant minimum.
this box is ABOUT 3.5 foot high(Gives me 2.5 foot above pots)
3 foot wide
6 foot long.
Its an ottoman - im sure everybody knows a standard ottoman size.
500w CFL in box.
2x Auto Pounder 6x Auto Northern Lights Blue.
the pots have about 1 inch space each side between other pots. they are in a zig-zag formation to make best use of the small space.
This grow, grow space, grow style may not be recommended but, I want to try it and I want to maximize yield.
Wont be using HPS lights as the box is to small for the distance I need from plants.
I have seen people pull 2 oz of a plant with CFLs that they have only achieved 14gram on doing a sog with CFLs.
I want to pull aprx 200 Grams from these 8 plants.
Ignoring everything else, what would be my best method to achieve just under an oz per plant assuming everything else is perfect?
1 - I could LST the plants to grow within the space of their pot, circle round the pot and let the side branches grow up, or LST in a zig zag formation, like the pots are positioned, one growing north, one south, one north, one south etc etc.
2 - I could do a Scrog to make an even canopy and in the last 2 weeks let the buds grow through the screen.
3- SOG Grow, let them all grow vertical and prune them for space.
4- Do nothing, let them grow and overwhelm the grow box/lights
So perfect medium, perfect lights, perfect temps, PH, humidity etc etc...
LST, SCROG, SOG or do nothing ?
I have not considered topping/fiming/super cropping as per my understanding, autos short vegative period makes them bad canditates for taking stress and repairing in time to not be detrimental to bud growth.
If I am wrong and should consider the other options, let me know!
